Summary
Mel was supposed to work under Valentina for the next few years and learn the ropes. She hoped to leverage her relationship with the director of the CIA to be able to work with the World Security Council. That was supposed to be the plan. It had been the plan since she graduated.
”You wanted to make the world a better place” Valentina recalled their previous conversation, “Then make sure our new 'heroes' have everything they need and are up to snuff for their new assignments.”
Mel sighed and braced herself, needing to hear it directly from her boss.
“Valentina, you’re - not seriously putting me in charge of the Avengers?”
____________________________________
When Mel got promoted to Official Liaison to the Avengers, she anticipated handling the press, briefing the team for missions, and overall providing the World's New Mightiest Heroes with whatever they needed.
Keeping a lonely, de-powered Robert 'Bob' Reynolds company at the Watchtower, however, was definitely not part of the job description.

Summary
“I told you that giving the serum to twitchy-not-all-there-Bob was a bad idea. It was reckless and stupid and driven entirely by your need for fame and fortune!” She slapped a hand down on the marble countertops.
“So you do have a spine,” Val murmured, tilting her head slightly and looking at Mel as if she was a lab rat who’d offered some surprising but ultimately unimportant results. “Fascinating.”
"If I’d been even a minute later, I would’ve found your body, your neck crushed. I wouldn’t have been able to save you.”
“But you did,” Valentina reminded her, her voice surprisingly gentle for someone who was actively getting reamed out by her subordinate.
“Barely,” she said, her voice cracking. “And look what happened.”

The Most Thunder-ful Time of the Year by Glass_Hummingbird

Summary
Let's clarify this by saying: Nothing, I mean nothing about this was the team’s idea.
Yelena would have been JUST FINE spending the holiday season locked the same way she would spend it any other year: Locked up in the Watchtower, eating mac n cheese, and trying to drown out any trace of this god-awful season from her mind.
But nooo. It just so happened that the source of all of life’s problems wasn’t just a shit-eating pair of beady-eyed weasels in a trenchcoat with an awful hair dye job pretending to be their manager; It was also money. Money that the “New Avengers Initiative” didn’t have.
And instead of doing something normal like a garage sale, community service, or whatever sweaty little children did to get money, Val had the bright bloody idea to capitalize on old Saint Nick; set them up in a mall in the middle of New York, presents and elf costumes and all.
Why?
Because it's the most wonderful time of the year, of course! And why not capitalize on that by having a bunch of ex-convicts and mercenaries give presents to children?

Summary
The breach of a Nunavut warehouse spiralled a domino affect of events, even more so after Valentina butted into the investigation to offer some documents exposing an organisation never seen post the events of 2014: U.T.I.L.I.S.E., a supposed ally of HYDRA since the very beginning of their creation near enough. Valentina thrusted her team of heroes - the New Avengers, of course - into the spotlight, insisting that S.H.I.E.L.D. needed their assistance to bring down this threat before it escalated even further.
She, too, insisted for S.H.I.E.L.D. to chose her group over the 'Liberty Sentinels' (Sam Wilson's temporary team name), advocating that the mission could be a smart tactic to promote the New Avengers in a more positive light to dissipate the lasting public negativity still tarnishing their reputation.
Reluctantly, without much choice, they accepted.
OR
The New Avengers take up a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission with and Sam and 'Liberty Sentinels' making their own appearance against Valentina's wishes, both teams joining forces to hunt down an anonymous assassin, a.k.a. Canine.

Summary
All of New York has currently been evacuated due to a new collection of supposed heroes. Their heroism quickly turned to one of sour irritability. Unable to accept the resentment the public showed, they started to take out anyone with signs of indifferent opinion.
The Avengers have been quick to stop this threat. Y/N--more so a child living with them rather than any member, really--has weaselled their way into the desolate New York with plans to fight the new group. The Avengers were quick to send someone to babysit their kid. But, after things went sour, Y/N has been labelled a murderer and traitor.This story is heavily based off of Jeff Buckley’s song The sky is a landfill
